I painted the lower portion of my rear bumper.

Here is what it looks like now ( plus some random pics )...it's storm gray.






Didn't know if black would look better or gray but I like the way the gray came out so it stays.

What else should I do?

I would paint the grill if I were to paint the headlights as well but I don't want to mess with opening up the headlights so for now it stays stock.

The roof is another story....I've thought of this sooo much. Painting the roof is free for me ( well, it's about $30 for the paint and clear but I do paint work myself ) so I've really thought about it. I've just never seen a DP coupe with a black roof so I'm kinda scurrdd...lol.

06 projectors are on my list as are wheels....I just love the oem 18's so much though that I'm kinda stalling...lol.

Hook up the coilovers and slam it, then you'll probably want to do something about the wheels But then again, who knows? Car's looking good though man, I like the new paint in the rear.

I have the coilovers as low as they can go without scraping EVERYWHERE. Even as it is I scrap some places. My rear tire is smaller than oem ( 245/40 ) so that doesn't help. If I do get around to putting larger wheels ( along with larger tires ) then I could probably lower it some more.

Can't beat that. I almost bought an 03-05 OEM replica for that price when mine was keyed.

Painted rear valence looks good. Nice color.

I still have my oem 03 spoiler collecting dust here...the paint was all screwed up on it so I decided to just swap the whole thing.
